Salzburg Photos: Mozart Memorial

The Mozart Memorial was revealed in the presence of Mozart's widow Konstanze and
one of his two sons in the early 19th century. At that point, tourism played
little to no role in the economy of Salzburg. Things have changed slightly since
then: The Mozartplatz square at the city centre is the focal point of
Mozart-mania and the memorial itself is probably one of the most photographed
objects in Austria. In this picture, our photographer tried to be original by
playing with the focus - but honestly, with something like the Mozart memorial,
originality is hard to achieve. Other important places for exploring Mozart's
traces in Salzburg would be the
Mozart Museum at his birthplace, the
Tanzmeisterhaus where he later lived, the cemetery of
St. Sebastian (where his
widow and father are buried) and pretty much every souvenir shop in and around
Salzburg.
